The band adds a show to the Greater Palm Springs area
The Who has announced the grand finale of their bittersweet The Song Is Over farewell tour of the U.S. and Canada. The last show will take place at Acrisure Arena in Greater Palm Springs on Wednesday, October 1st. Additionally, The Offspring is set to join The Who in Los Angeles next Friday, September 19th, at the iconic Hollywood Bowl.
Presales for the Palm Springs show start on Tuesday, September 16th, ahead of the general sale on Wednesday, September 17th.
The group’s North American run kicked off on August 16th in Sunrise, Florida. We attended night two in Newark, New Jersey, which saw Roger Daltrey deliver over 20 songs with “strength and forcefulness.”
The Who continued to thrill US fans throughout the 1970s before undertaking their first “farewell” tour in 1982, which featured two shows at the legendary Shea Stadium in New York. When the band returned to the road in the late 1990s and early 2000s, perhaps one of their greatest performances was at The Concert For New York City at Madison Square Garden shortly after the terror attack of 9/11; their three-song set in front of emergency workers and first responders was met with a primal roar from the audience. When Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey were given the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2008 for their contributions to American culture, a tribute performance of “Baba O’Riley” was delivered with a full choir of New York firefighters in gratitude for The Who’s performance at the show.
Inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990, the band has placed 27 top 40 singles in the United States and the United Kingdom and earned 17 Top Ten albums, including the 1969 groundbreaking rock opera Tommy, 1971’s pummeling Live At Leeds, 1973’s Quadrophenia, and 1978’s Who Are You. The Who debuted in 1964 with a trio of anthems “I Can’t Explain,” “The Kids Are Alright,” and “My Generation.” Since then, they have delivered hits such as “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Who Are You,” and “You Better You Bet.”
We are pleased to announce that The Who are coming to @AcrisureArena , Greater Palm Springs, CA on October 1st for the last time on The Song is Over – The Final Public Show on the North American Farewell Tour!
